COMMENTS
Conjecture: (i) a(n) > 0 for all n > 0.
(ii) Any positive integer can be written as 4^k*(1+4*x^2+y^2) + z^2, where k,x,y,z are nonnegative integers with x <= z.
This is stronger than Lagrange's four-square theorem. We have shown that each n = 1,2,3,... can be written as 4^k*(1+4*x^2+y^2) + z^2 with k,x,y,z nonnegative integers.
See also A275656, A275675 and A275676 for similar conjectures.

EXAMPLE
a(12) = 1 since 12 = 4*(1+4*0^2+1^2) + 2^2 with 0 < 1.
a(19) = 1 since 19 = 4^0*(1+4*0^2+3^2) + 3^2 with 0 < 3.
a(61) = 1 since 61 = 4*(1+4*1^2+2^2) + 5^2 with 1 < 2.
a(125) = 1 since 125 = 4*(1+4*0^2+0^2) + 11^2 with 0 = 0.
a(359) = 1 since 359 = 4^0*(1+4*7^2+9^2) + 9^2 with 7 < 9.
a(196253) = 1 since 196253 = 4*(1+4*0^2+0^2) + 443^2 with 0 = 0.
